Within reason, it's ok to look at people breastfeeding in public

And there's also a difference between looking and ogling or staring or leering...

"Accidental glances" don't make you look like a pervert. Leering at a tit you won't even be able to see on account of the baby's head does.

I don't breastfeed exposed, so I don't have this issue. I use a blanket and/or sit in a corner when possible.

Whether it's "wrong" or not, you can't stop perverts from staring. So I choose to give nothing to stare at.

But if it were up to me, It'd be a harassment/voyeurism crime to stand and stare. Punishable by jail and a fine.

All the pervs out there should be glad my coworker isn't president; she wants oglers publicly blinded. I wonder how many votes she'd get lol

If someone glances over at me when I'm breastfeeding I assume they are either looking at my cute baby or doing the "omg there's boobies over there in public and I'm not meant to look but it's hard not to" glance. Neither bothers me in the slightest. Just try not to think about it too much, it's just people feeding their children, totally normal.

Also if anyone accuses you of being a perve you should indignantly tell them that you were looking at their cute baby, and not to flatter themselves. Breastfeeding boobies aren't even that nice to look at, they're more like sore, inflamed cow udders than anything else. Men can like babies too without it being weird. They are the weird ones in that scenario, not you.

This is like saying it's not creepy to stare at someone while they eat a cheeseburger. Seriously, bud? Creepy is creepy. People shouldn't have to hide at home to have the freedom to do shit without someone else visibly adding them to their spank bank.

That's so "American culture". Are you American? I've never seen such an obsession with the subject in any other country. So much so that it becomes lame jokes in sitcoms. I honestly don't get it.

I understand what your saying

It's like if a guy pulled down his underwear and let it all hang out in a public area and then got upset because someone looked. Is everyone in that public space now expected to stare at the walls to avoid looking?

Yes there is a difference between an accidental glance and a creepy stare down. I feel like most people would accidentally glance because as humans, your natural instincts are to look at your surroundings(and not just sitting there with your eyes closed or staring at a wall where you wouldn't be able to see a potential threat come up behind you and bash you over the head with a rock). Even if you just accidentally glance and then try to look away, you can still see things happening around you from the corner of your eyes, making you think "maybe it would be best to move to another seat or turn my head in another direction till there done"

You're not TRYING to look or being a pervert, you're actually doing the opposite. If you(like all humans)can see from the corner of your eyes, and they are in that corner-eye view, then you feel like your still seeing something that you know the other person probably doesn't want you seeing(for more than a glance time period). So out of respect you try to get them out of your corner eye view

And there are women who are aware that accidental glances happen and that things in public view of everyone is likely to be glanced at (since humans look around at their surrounding), but there are also women who are quick to shoot dirty looks or call you a pervert for an accidental glance

There are some people who say things like "you're thinking way too much into this" or "what is there to be so afraid of" and things along the lines of that, but in the day and age of social media where there are people so quick to pull out there phone and take video of you or pictures of you over every little thing and make you public-enemy-number-one who "needs to be fired from their job!" and have every news article writing about you before knowing what actually happened or having both sides of the stories, it's no surprise that it would be something to fear or think about more seriously for some people

I have a family member who made a scene over a guy being at a park thinking he was some pervert who wanted to watch kids but the dude was just waiting for his date to show up

People can be quick to judge and make a scene over things and I think it's a bit of a slippery slope when I hear some people say things like "you can't look AT ALL" when the thing being talked about is something that's in OPEN VIEW of everyone and in a PUBLIC area

Also I'm not saying I think being creepy or a being a pervert about this sort of thing is okay(and it doesn't seem like that's what your saying either). I'm sure someone will misunderstand me or twist my words to mean something else and possibly rant to me about it though

Well i tell you what, if you pull your tittie out around I’m looking. Nothing is cute about a woman breast feeding in public. You have the right to do it and I have the right to look. Call me a pervert but I’ve seen some nice tits breast feeding in my day lol

Just don't do what Charlie Baileygates did.

Thakfully here breastfeeding in public is not an issue. We don't ask ourselves if it is appropriate or not because it is a natural thing for a mother to do. When I was breastfeeding I would do it whenever baby was hungry. I did not cover and people never stared. I hope that this will never be an issue here.

It is a woman feeding her baby.
There is nothing sexy about it, nothing to see.

Besides, just seeing part of a human body isn't really sexy in and of itself, there kind of needs to be a certain vibe.

Do you watch other people when they eat? Do you walk through a restaurant looking at everybody eating their pasta or sushi? Better yet, how would you feel if people kept looking at you while you were eating?

By the way, it's pretty easy to tell if a glance is accidental or not. You're not as sly or smooth as you think you are.
